‘Oz’ Tops Weekend Box Office With $80.3M

Oz The Great and Powerful was just that over the weekend, grossing some $80.3 million at the box office.

Overseas, the pre-Wizard of Oz 3D picture made an additional $69.9 million, bringing its total to $150.2 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, directed by Sam Raimi and starring James Franco as the man who became the wizard, beat out last week’s box office winner Jack the Giant Slayer and the train that just keeps on chugging along, Identity Thief.
